“Damn it.”
Just as Zhou Yuan felt disappointed, he heard footsteps outside the door. He quickly dispelled the demonic shadow.
A medical staff member opened the door and called out, “It’s breakfast time.”
“Oh, I’m coming.”
Before long, Zhou Yuan arrived at the cafeteria.
The breakfast options were diverse, covering the culinary specialties from the north and south of East Continent, and also provided Western breakfast choices. The service was excellent.
Before encountering the contamination of abnormal conditions, everything in the psychiatric hospital was safe, and at present, Zhou Yuan had only been exposed to the “Rule Ghost Story” anomaly, which didn’t involve food-related rules, so he felt at ease eating.
He inhaled large mouthfuls of food, soothing his anxious mood.
Thud.
A tray was placed next to Zhou Yuan. He turned his head to see Yan Sheng, exuding an aura of dominance.
“Where’s that girl?” Yan Sheng asked after sitting down.
“No idea,” Zhou Yuan shook his head. “Maybe she’s still asleep.”
“… Or maybe something happened to her.”
Yan Sheng squinted his eyes, “After one night’s sleep, my cultivation has actually recovered a lot. It’s simply unbelievable.
However, while this place might be a treasure trove for me, it’s probably a terrifyingly dangerous place for others.”
Zhou Yuan’s hand, holding a drumstick, paused in mid-air, his mouth frozen open. He suddenly remembered Yan Sheng’s condition—hallucinating that he was an ancient Great Emperor!
“Could he really have become the Great Emperor?” Zhou Yuan felt like a thousand alpacas were rushing through his mind.
This illness was not only non-threatening, but could also make one stronger!
“Of course not, at most he has some imagined abilities, but there are limits to how real the disease can become,” said the second personality.
“By the way, you mentioned earlier that he has secrets. What are those secrets?” Zhou Yuan remembered.
“I can’t see through him, that’s why they are secrets,” the second personality said helplessly. “When he came in, there was some kind of arrangement on him that can avoid detection. Now that he’s ‘recovered’ some of his cultivation, I can’t see through him even more.
But one thing is for sure: he’s definitely not an ordinary high school student and has another purpose for being here.”
“Could he have been sent by the Land of Truth to find Qin Youwen?” Zhou Yuan guessed.
The clues in the reading room were most likely left by Qin Youwen for the members of the Land of Truth who came to find him.
The second personality had a different view: “Not necessarily, he could also have been sent by another organization.
For example, Shi Sanjin, he’s a Sanctuary believer and has been trapped here for many years. It would make sense for the Sanctuary to send someone to rescue him.
Besides him, there are quite a few extraordinary people here…”
“Hmm?”
Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, realizing that things were not simple.
“Let’s start with Shi Sanjin.
He claimed he found a comprehensive religious book in the library and after worshipping each god, only the Goddess of Light responded to him. So, he became a believer of the Goddess of Light… But how could such a comprehensive religious book appear in a psychiatric hospital?
In reality, he is a 2nd-tier extraordinary person from the Sanctuary, with the profession of Priest. However, after staying in the psychiatric hospital for so long, he had gone completely mad and forgotten his true identity.
And like him, there are many extraordinary people who have lost themselves here.”
The second personality said, “That rough man eating a burger over there belongs to the Sea God Church;
The woman at the fifth table from the back is a witch, and the men on either side of her are her partners and teammates, both 2nd-tier wild extraordinary people;
The crazy white-haired old man is a 3rd-tier extraordinary person from the MG Corporation;
The chef at the 5th window serving food is from the Shadow Cell Society;
The dull man eating noodles over there is an investigator from the Control Bureau;
The people next to Shi Sanjin are his former teammates, also from the Sanctuary…”
The second personality listed the extraordinary people in the area.
“They’ve all been trapped here for many years. The longest has been here for eight years, and the shortest for less than half a year.”
“This…”
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and realized something was wrong, “So many people have gone missing in the psychiatric hospital, why hasn’t anyone or any organization discovered the anomaly here?”
“Because once someone enters here as a patient and becomes infected with an anomaly, their presence in the outside world drops to the lowest level. If they die from an abnormal condition, they will completely disappear from the world, and only a few people will remember that they once existed.
It is because of this bizarre abnormal power that this psychiatric hospital can exist safely to this day.”
“It really is eerie… This counts as a level 4 anomaly by now, doesn’t it?”
Level 4 anomalies have reality-warping characteristics, affecting multiple cities or even larger areas. The Mingche Heart and Mind Psychiatric Hospital almost perfectly matches these features.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan looked at Yan Sheng beside him, wondering if this “Great Emperor” might be able to provide some help.
He followed up on what Yan Sheng had just said:

“A perilous place?”
Yan Sheng nodded slightly, looking somewhat grave: “There is an eerie aura here.”
“Eerie?” Zhou Yuan was startled, “Great Emperor, can you suppress it?”
Yan Sheng shook his head: “This current reincarnation of mine has just begun, my cultivation is shallow, I can only protect myself.”
“This…”
“However, for the sake of our fated encounter, I can impart a cultivation technique to you. If you practice diligently, you might be able to survive in this eerie place.”
Zhou Yuan hurriedly clasped his hands in respect, “Please bestow the technique, Great Emperor!”
Stretching out his index finger, Yan Sheng released a beam of light that entered Zhou Yuan’s forehead. A complete cultivation technique appeared in his mind.
[Name: “Golden Body Skill – Upper Part”]
[Quality: fine]
[Special Effect: enhances physique, can cultivate Gang Qi.]
[Learning requirements: Strength, Constitution, Intelligence attributes greater than 8]
[Note 1: This technique is transmitted by the ‘Ancient Great Emperor’, but only the upper part.]
[Note 2: The lower right corner of this technique is marked with the “Martial Arts Association” logo.]
Holy crap… a real technique!
Zhou Yuan was stunned, never expecting Yan Sheng to actually have something real!
However, based on the notes, this “Golden Body Skill” seemed to be produced by the Martial Arts Association, not a figment of Yan Sheng’s imagination.
—The Martial Arts Association is an organization formed by Martial Artists and Martial Monks. Chen Guangxi also holds a significant position within it, being at a senior level.
Yan Sheng is a Martial Artist? That’s hard to believe, given his scrawny arms and legs…
Clearing his mind of distractions, Zhou Yuan quickly and quietly expressed his gratitude: “Thank you for imparting the technique, Great Emperor!”
“I hope you can survive in this perilous place filled with hidden dangers.” Yan Sheng said no more, and resumed eating solemnly.
“As expected of the once Immortal Heaven Emperor, with a great chest, great vision, and caring for mortals,” the second personality remarked with a click of the tongue.
Finishing his meal quickly, Zhou Yuan returned his tray to the collection point, then discreetly darted up the stairs while no one was looking.
He wanted to see if the reading room had reappeared.
He quickly climbed to the third floor, but the reading room was nowhere in sight. Zhou Yuan did not stop and continued to climb.
There were three mezzanines in the main building.
The reading room on the third floor.
The director’s office on the sixth floor.
The medication storage on the eighth floor.
The director’s office was the most crucial. If he could find it, he might see key hints using the Eyes of Identification.
The medication storage contained drugs that could cure mental contamination, which were extremely important in this abnormal-filled psychiatric hospital.
Zhou Yuan quickly reached the sixth floor, where a movie screening room was located, indicating that the mezzanine had not appeared.
He continued upward.
Upon reaching the eighth floor, he saw a huge metal door before him, completely blocking the corridor.
“Good news, you found the medication storage!”
The second personality cheered, then reminded him, “There are mind-purifying drugs inside, but don’t forget, there are doctors patrolling inside.”
“Even better news, your device spirit has awakened. With me here, you will never lose at hide-and-seek.
Current area contains 3 abnormal creatures.”
“Fantastic.”
Zhou Yuan smiled and activated Ghost Walker, passing through the wall into the medication storage.
